Lam for his part noted that with its potential in technology and content creation, Netflix would help fuel the development of the film industry and creative economy in Vietnam.
He also requested that Netflix urgently set up a group to work closely alongside the Ministry of Information and Communications in order to regularly update the current operation situation and draw up a development plan after establishing a representative legal entity in Vietnam.
